Search for Leptonic Decays of Dark Photons at NA62.

The NA62 experiment at CERN, configured in beam-dump mode, has searched for dark photon decays in flight to electron-positron pairs using a sample of 1.4×10^{17} protons on dump collected in 2021. No evidence for a dark photon signal is observed.

Оxidative stress and endogenous intoxication in cancer patients.

In the blood serum of 93 patients with various localities of the malignant process, the content of nitric oxide (NO), indicators of lipid peroxidation (POL): superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione in red blood cells were determined. 9 patients with ovarian cancer were examined during chemotherapy (6 courses), 40 patients with colon cancer, previously operated, were with malignant liver damage. In 39 patients with anemia, NO indicators were compared with the level of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and hepcidin-25 (GP-25).

Morphological and functional features of peripheral blood neutrophils in cancer patients with sepsis in the early postoperative period (review of literature and results of our own studies).

The study was performed in 9 cancer patients with sepsis. A clinical blood test of patients with sepsis was accompanied by a neutrophilic leukemoid reaction, with the appearance in the differential count of white blood cells of young cells (myelocytes, metamyelocytes). According to the literature, it is shown that in severe sepsis, a local infection is accompanied by systemic of neutrophil activation (NF).

[Characterization of anemic syndrome in cancer patients with sepsis in the early postoperative period.].

A study of the main indicators of red blood (RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH) and the concentration of EPO, sTfR in 9 cancer patients with anemic syndrome (AS) against sepsis was carried out. Among them, patients with chronic disease anemia (ACh), with normocytic, normochromic characteristics of red blood cells and low hematocrit predominated. In 2 patients, microcytosis and erythrocyte hypochromia were noted, the concentration of sTfR was significantly higher than normal (0.

Enhancement of the Inelastic Nuclear Interaction Rate in Crystals via Antichanneling.

The interaction rate of a charged particle beam with the atomic nuclei of a target varies significantly if the target has a crystalline structure. In particular, under specific orientations of the target with respect to the incident beam, the probability of inelastic interaction with nuclei can be enhanced with respect to the unaligned case. This effect, which can be named antichanneling, can be advantageously used in the cases where the interaction between beam and target has to be maximized.
